THRONE OF GLASS, Pilot Ordered
A new throne may be coming to television.
Hulu has ordered a pilot for a potential TV series based on Sarah J. Maas’ best-selling YA books, Throne of Glass, to be titled after the fourth book in the series, Queen of Shdows. The series is being developed by the Mark Gordon Company, which also produced Ray Donovan for Showtime and ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.
The fifth title in the planned six-book series was just published, Empire of Storms (Macmillan/Bloomsbury USA Childrens).
It may be a race to see which Maas series gets adapted first. Rights were acquired last November to the author’s second series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (Macmillan/Bloomsbury USA Childrens, May 2014).
The second title in that series, A Court of Mist and Fury was released in May of this year and landed at #1 on the NYT Young Adult Best Seller list. It is currently at #7 after 18 weeks.
